I'm somewhat curious about this...Denmark has had a profound influence on Greenland historically and fincancially. At the same time, Greenland desires greater independence. Do you think Greenland will always be bound to Denmark in some way (ie. linguistically)?

If Greenland becomes a sovrane state, out of the Kingdom of Denmark, then they are going to loose the economic support from Denmark which is 3 billion DKR (402,015,437 Euro)yearly. It is all an economic question, because if the rumours of the oil experts that are saying "there is 73 times more oil in the Greenlands underground than in the Danish part of the Northern Sea" are true, my opinion is that Greenland will be come indipendent. But who knows?!
As for inguistically matters, Greenlands language will always be bound to the Danish language, for example the numbers in the Greenland language came from Danish and are used just as in Danish.
Hopefully it was a good answer for your question.

Always is like .... forever. Who knows with the way the world's climate is changing, maybe Greenland's ice cap has melted away within 50 years and Greenland has become a collection of islands.
Within a 10-year horizon, I don't think Greenland's current socio-economic & political status/situation wil change.

I don't know if there's something bad about being under the danish influence- they all live so well there in greenland and without their support it would be really messed up. well, at least- it takes some time to gain their independence. it's not easy.

Grønland/Greenland will remain as a part of the Nordic countries.
